Cadence
Cadence Design Systems is the world's leading EDA company. Cadence customers use our software, hardware, and services to overcome a range of technical and economic hurdles.Our technologies help customers create mobile devices with longer battery life. Designers of ICs for game consoles and other consumer electronics speed their products to market using our hardware simulators to run software on a ‘virtual’ chip—long before the actual chip exists. We bridge the traditional gap between chip designers and fabrication facilities, so that manufacturing challenges can be addressed early in the design stage. And our custom IC design platform enables designers to harmonize the divergent worlds of analog and digital design to create some of the most advanced mixed-signal system on chip (SoC) designs. These are just a few of the many essential Cadence solutions that drive the success of leading IC and electronic systems companies.
SilTerra
Silterra is a project of strategic national interest to promote front-end semiconductor manufacturing and a catalyst for high technology investments in Malaysia. It was founded in November 1995 as Wafer Technology (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and was renamed to Silterra Malaysia Sdn Bhd in December 1999. We broke ground on our first manufacturing facility in Kulim, Malaysia in June 1999 and produced working silicon in November 2000. We recorded initial revenue in February 2001, 18 months following groundbreaking and equivalent to world-class time to revenue performance. We have developed advanced CMOS Logic, High Voltage and Mixed Signal/Radio Frequency process technologies for our customers since then. Silterra’s commitment to meet high wafer manufacturing standards helped us win the 2002 Top Fab Award, given annually by the editorial staff of Semiconductor International. This achievement not only reflects our strength in operations and technology development, but also our commitment to excellence
